Details are scarce for the moment, but we've gleamed the 'Halo' TV series will likely prove an Xbox original, akin to Netflix's recent entries into the original content market.

As most 'Halo' fans well know, attempts at a live-action adaptation of the franchise have gone on forever, Peter Jackson notably first tasked with directing. Last year, Microsoft released live-action series 'Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn' as a precursor to the launch of 'Halo 4.'
